Less than 24 hours before President Barack Obama came out to endorse Hillary Clinton for president, MSNBC host Chris Matthews ended Wednesday night’s Hardball by complaining that the American people (and presumably the media too) didn’t spend enough time on Tuesday “salut[ing]” Clinton for what she’s “accomplished in this historic struggle” for women’s rights.

“Let me finish tonight with something that never got said last night, a night history was made. What was missing was a recognition and salute of what Secretary Clinton herself accomplished in this historic struggle. Look at her life and career and you see those achievements, those tests she faced, tests she chose, and tests she passed,” the ever-colorful host began.
